5. Maintenance
• The normal life of a battery is 3-5 years. But extreme operating
conditions and environmental conditions may shorten its life-span.
• To replace batteries, contact qualified personnel.
• When the UPS has been unused for some time, the batteries inside will
discharge slightly. It is recommended to charge the UPS once every
three months.
• Use a vacuum cleaner to get rid of any dust that may rest on the opening
of the fan.
• Unplug the UPS when it is not used for a long time.
• When cleaning the plastic case or front panel, only use a soft, dry cloth. If
the case or front panel is dirty, use a neutral, non-abrasive detergent. Do
not use alcohol- or ammonia-based solutions.
• When moving your UPS, always handle it with care.
• Avoid spilling liquid on the UPS.
